[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 472043, member: 11791"] Shelly - I like your list... and agree with your approach, but... I've got news for you. 1) typical age for problems because school work gets harder, faster than these kids can learn to "cover"... so long-term problems start to show up if they haven't before. 2) You list the challenges from a school perspective, but... WHY? what is the "real" problem? Statistics: 1) 50% of kids with ADHD have Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) (gross or fine motor skills problems that interfere with life... it may be subtle - handwriting problems are HUGE but can be taken as attitude instead) 2) something like 70% of kids with ADHD also have auditory processing disorders (anything from classical language issues, to problems hearing in the presence of background noise...) 3) a high proportion of kids with ADHD have learning disabilities. So... Which of those have already been definitively screened for? If not... then I think THAT is where you need to start. You can't fix it if you don't know where its broke. [/QUOTE]
